Ogunns' 1st Scratchbuild ROTJ SE Fett (wip)

This is amazing work! I love how creative you are in means of what to use for your costume. I might just steal a couple of ideas from you here. Also, I've been sort of a sceptic as to make the gauntlets out of cardboard, but yours look really good! I think I'll have to give it a try after all...Thanks for posting! I'll be sure to follow up on this thread!

Got the canisters in and more crack filler sprayed inside the tubes to make them sturdy. I used 4 diet Pepsi cans I cut with the dremmel and primed and sprayed metallic. I also spent a couple hrs and weathered the main body of the jp.

Went to Michaels arts and crafts store and got some wooden discs for the top of the canisters.1 3/4 inch flat one fit snugly into the bottom indented part of the cans I used. Then a rounded one for the top. I am pleased with how these worked out.

And finally the jp has the thrusters. Also painted the ends of the canisters and put the alien writing on the front of them. I used some air fresheners for the thruster bases and Styrofoam balls for the other things they attach to. I cut the tube from the inside of the air fresheners for the arms to connect the thrusters to the jp base. So now I just need to make the missile for the top and a little time to do touchups and it will be pretty done.

20 dollar jack sparrow wig from party city netted me 4 wookie braid trophies for the right shoulder. Just cut the 8 braids off the wig and then some black duct tape to splice the 8 braids into 4 long ones. A pic of the wig on the manaquin to see them before I cut them off.

Michaels arts and craft got more business from me. A kalidascope and a small lava lamp netted me a ARM rocket. Cut the tube shorter and took the plastic cone from the lamp for the tip. Some copper and silver paint and viola, cost like 5 bucks. I know it looks like a vibrator and isn't movie accurate but it will work for me and the price was right....

If anyone's interested here is how I made my manaquin.
5 heavy duty cardboard tubes.8 dollars
5 rolls of duct tape.10 dollars
5 pillows.15 dollars
1 Styrofoam head.2 dollars
Total cost around 35 dollars

Then I tape the groin part to the body part.
Then the legs
Then the shoulder bar, leaving room for the Styrofoam head to fit on.
Then the arms.
After that, I tape pillows around the tubes to add proportion to the figure.

After all of the pillows are on it looks pretty good. Just add the costume. I use coat hangers for the hands so I can open or close fingers etc.
